ABSTRACT:

Dental implants have become an integral part of comprehensive management of patients with edentulous spaces. Predictable  implantology thrives on sound osseous support around osseo -integrated implants. It is proven that, although bone collapse after tooth loss is three dimensional (3D), the horizontal deficiency or width loss develops to a larger extent in both the maxillary and mandibular arches which can result  in loss of buccal (labial) cortical or medullary bone, or both.

Regeneration of the alveolar ridge remains a clinical challenge. Several techniques for this procedure may be considered, such as guided bone regeneration, bone block grafting, distraction  and ridge splitting for bone expansion.

Scipioni et al. suggests that wherever dental implants are placed, a minimum thickness of 1–1.5 mm of bone should remain on both buccal and lingual/palatal aspects of the implant(s) to ensure a successful outcome. To achieve adequate bone stock in three dimension for implant placement various hard tissue graft from intraoral site  are being used such as chin, ramus, posterior mandible, zygomatic buttress, and maxillary tuberosity. Giving consideration to soft tissue coverage around implant is another important consideration.

This lecture focuses on the need for proper case selection for implant placement in areas of inadequate bone, various options and techniques which can be employed to achieve rule of 7 8 9 10, clinical consideration and modification in technique for better and predictable outcome and management of complication from a surgeons perspective. This will help you device a treatment algorithm to manage cases with narrow alveolar ridge.
